    Hey don’t be upset there was a lot of denial,whining and conspiracy theories that prejudices derailed a Man’s career in a Pro Sport on the BBC.

    CC needs to prove herself on the court and if you watched her college games she scored a lot of points but also had a lot of turnovers that didn’t get a lot of mention.

    No joke. Pierce drops knowledge on driving today’s boats and it gets only three pages, and this is what we are sipping our tea discussing, ladies? (And I’m a Hawkeye. )

    Perhaps this is why the "ladies" of The View" were attacking her today. (Don't watch them. Saw the news video... just so we're clear...)
    No one can be wrong that often so it has to be deliberate.

    You know she’s hearing white bread comments all day long. She’ll have it rough for a while. Many elbows in her future.
    Hang on. I'll help you in 77 minutes.

    Indiana would have a great team if they had someone good to replace Boston under the goal and a better coach.

Hopefully she is a great one, if not it will be because of her own abilities or lack of when it's all said and done.
    I have zero dislike or hate towards her. I hope she has an incredibly successful career. I think a lot of people are jumping to her defense for reasons other than just basketball.

    Just Google what the ladies on the view had to say about her and all your questions will be answered.

    So,,,, i looked it up as you suggested...

    "Ladies"??? you're (you're not the only one) all whacked out by what oneof the hosts opinion was during a discussion of the panel... No one is talking about what Goldberg's comments were during that discussion. Goldberg's comments were that Clark had earned her place in the WNBA unlike some Ivy League students who only got in because they're black.. She went on to say that Clark earned it and that she sure wasn't mad Clark was in the WNBA..
    Nobody is talking about Goldberg's comments because that don't fit the narrative,,,,,,,,
    Their discussion was no different than the discussion being held here..

Let CC come out in support of some policy/lifestyle/trend/product they don't like and their tune while change with a quickness.

    I don't much care for her. Wouldn't mind if she just faded away into WNBA obscurity.

    That’s beautiful. Whoopi is such a shining star in a dark world. I’m not too whacked out as you say because I don’t think I’d recognize Caitlin Clark if I saw a picture of her. I’ve heard the hype but don’t even know who she plays for.

    Thats wrong, they finally have carter flights instead of commercial flights, at least she has gotten credit for that from what all the social media have said.

    They Can’t Stand The Fact She’s Made More Money Than Any One Of Them Before Stepping On A WNBA Court. Her Popularity Was Brought On By The Different Type Of Game Shes Brought To The Women’s Game, The Sports Media and Fan Base. She Will Succeed In The WNBA, Even With The Target On Her Back, The Best Defenders and All The Double Teams.

    It was bizarre seeing Boston speak in a condescending and demeaning way to Clark while they were walking off the court during halftime of their first game like Clark was a stupid rookie while knowing there were a ton of cameras on them. It was insulting and demeaning.

    If you haven't seen the video of how Boston talked to Clark... you'd be taken aback. I've never ever seen a second year NBA veteran talk to a superstar rookie like that in front of everyone else.

    Nothing like how Tiger Woods came onto the PGA tour and everyone on the tour was excited about challenging Woods and at the same time mindful of the amazing impact Woods would have on the PGA tour payouts. And Woods literally changed the PGA tour overnight for so many of those mid and lower level veterans who became rich as a result of the Woods phenomenon.

    Would it kill her to lick a carpet once or twice to make the professional transition easier?

    You’re so right. “Old white dudes” should be very wary of “inserting” anything around women who are younger, quicker and probably stronger
